RE: On Humans And Technology : What Steemit Can Learn From The Mistake Of Nokia

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Wow, what an approach!

Well I completely agree with about all you've said so far. I think you're right that this yearn for profits by delegation to bid bots has reduced the yearn for curating quality contents and building newbies.
And I think this practice should be reduced to a large extent in order to reduce the detriment suffered by the aspect of quality curation and community building.

But I don't think the practice should be stopped completely, I only think it should be kept at such a degree that would not hamper the other loveable practice of quality curation and community building. This is because the option to benefit from idle steem has brought some value to the steem coin and to steemit as a whole. This option makes owning steem more lucrative/attractive and makes people invest more in steem. I think I do not even need to say how beneficial it is that people are investing in steem!

This investment is also the building of steemit (what we all want). Further more, I'll say that the Steemit community has shocked me over the months with the amount of generosity and love on display here, never have I seen so much love in one place. Steemit has a lot of people still doing the community building and quality curation. We still have a host of other curators, using their steem power for all this good. We have: @steemstem, @wafrica, @onequality, @busy, @ocd, @sneakyninja, @familyprotection,@steemiteducation, @stach, @welcoming, @curie, @aggroed's MSP and whole lot of others which I can't even finish naming in a simple comment! Of course, I'm asking for the number of curators like these to increase and that delegation to bid bots reduce but this delegations shouldn't be stopped.

How then do we reduce this?
I think, the same way you have suggested (but reduction rather than elimination), calling on witnesses and the entire steemit stakeholders to talk more on this issue and profer advices.
